<p>Greetings everyone, </p>
<p></p>
<p> I was wondering if anyone could help me with this error, TREAT is saying that the primary heating system capacity adjusted by distribution and heating safety factor exceeds its assigned share of building load by more than 50%.</p>
<p></p>
<p> The heating information came from the energy audit, so I am not sure how I can correct this error. Any help will be greatly appreciated, </p>

<p> Luis</p> Basic Heat loss informationtag:homeenergypros.lbl.gov,2014-10-16:6069565:Topic:1684182014-10-16T18:38:04.284ZPaul Lasickihttp://homeenergypros.lbl.gov/profile/PaulLasicki
<p>Greetings everyone, </p>
<p></p>
<p> I was told that I could get very basic heating loss calculations from TREAT. Besides the amount of fuel usage I cannot find where this basic heating calculation is in TREAT which I am certain it is staring at me right at the face! Could anyone be kind and point it out to me?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks, </p>

<p>Greetings everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p> I have a strange scenario to model and I was hoping I could get some advice: This used to be a whole building built on 1,920 so it is a balloon framing. The homeowner' s apartment is on the second floor, but the front door on the first floor has a little area with a little "receiving" table and that area is heated with a radiator. The basement ceiling has no insulation at all and because of the framing style, it brings a great deal of air into the 2…</p>

The basement ceiling has no insulation at all and because of the framing style, it brings a great deal of air into the 2 floor (proved by the blower door) </p>
<p></p>
<p> The entire house is two floors plus attic, but I am modeling a little piece of the first floor, second floor, attic and basement... Any suggestions on how to do this?</p>
<p></p>
<p> Your comments are greatly appreciated,</p>

<p>Hi everyone! </p>
<p> I am learning TREAT, so perhaps this is too simple of a question for you guys but I am kind of stuck... when TREAT asked me about the building I choose attached, considering that one wall of the building is attached to the neighbor's house, but when I check walls, all of them are set up to the outside, and so far I have not found the way to change the setting for that attached wall. Just for me to learn, is that attached wall considered towards living space?…</p>

<p>How are attic slopes modeled for foam insulation. When ever I've added a foamed slope I get a very low SIR with virtually no savings. What am I doing wrong?</p>

<p>A client has an old gas fired boiler with a gas fired storage tank DHW. I'm looking to replace both units with a high efficiency gas fired boiler 2 pipe direct vent seal combustion unit with indirect water heater. </p>
<p>How do I enter this in improvements?</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Is it possible to add preferences in the drop down menus for surface descriptions. Example, when I go to a 2x8 framing there is nothing listed for the drop down item" fiberglass, blown fiberglass". Can I fill in a figure for this?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>With the latest On Bill financing, we are require to use actual fuel usage in TREAT. I tried a couple of times to use actual usage or tried to "True Up " the file with no luck. I'm not really sure if these are the same thing.</p>
<p>Anyone out there willing to teach us how to go about truing up a TPG or entering actual fuel usage?</p>
